New Honda Commercial/Engineer's Dream
>>Subject: An Engineer's Dream
>> >> >>And you thought those people that set up a room full of dominos to >>knock over were amazing... >>There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. >>Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. >> >>The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually >>very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing >>up again. >> >> >> The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was >>over, they >>were ready to change professions. >> >>The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete >>including full engineering of the sequence. >> >>In addition, it is two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film >>on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any >>one of us in clover for a lifetime. >> >>However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in >>Internet history. >> >>Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in >>"free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this >>commercial!) >> >>When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it >>immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. >> >>There are six, and only six, hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To >>the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them >>to make the film. >> >>Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp and >>complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. >> >>The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda >>executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer >>graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out >>it was for real. >> >>Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers on the new Accords, the >>windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing >>their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Also the physics involved to get the tires rolling up the ramp look a little odd. But, its possible both were done for real. Awesome commercial none the less
